New Year 2015 Vacation to Florida

ok so I am almost an entire year behind therefore, I have decided I am just going to start with he new year and try and keep up. I do have an excuse though I am going back to school and taking some nursing classes that consumes alot of my old computer time:) I want to be better about keeping up on documenting our exciting little family because they are growing up way to fast! Don't worry I have not slowed down on taking pictures I just have not been as good as posting them. Instagram and facebook kind of took over the blog.
  2015 began with a bang we surprised the kids at Christmas with a trip to go see Winter and Hope the dolphins in Florida from the movie Dolphin Tale.  We left on January 1st 2015 from Minneapolis and began our adventure.

 We got to ride a boat over across the bay to another building that hat all of the props from the movie Dolphin Tale.  The boat ride was alot of fun.

The draw bridge went up while a boat went through on our way back.

 We stayed at the Tradewinds resort on St, Pete Beach. We could not have asked for a more family friendly resort that had so much for the kids to do. We had 3 different pools for the kids, a water slide, mini golf, paddle boats, swans and ducks to feed, trampolines and ice cream:)

 We were very lucky with amazing weather! We had sunshine and 80 all three days we were there! The trip was short but we had an amazing time. Playing on the beach and swimming! The best part was is that we didn't have to worry about a thing!!

The smiles on every ones faces says it all! We were very fortunate and blessed to have this opportunity to have this amazing family vacation! Thanks Grandma Sharon and Papa Joe for making this possible we could not have done this with out you! I  pray and hope we are able to continue to have family trip because there is nothing better then to have good laughs and good times with your kids.  Seeing them all smile and have fun is priceless!!
